UFC fans favor Nate Diaz, 37, because he is a striker. He has practiced boxing since he was young. Moreover, he has great timing and cardio and is notoriously vicious, per Yahoo! Sports. He stands 6 feet tall, with very long arms for a lefty.

Jake Paul, 26, whose career has been strictly regulated so far but who has shown potential as a prizefighter, is likely to face a formidable opponent in his upcoming slugfest.
